New ‘Epson FastFoto FF-680W‘ used to scan photos.

What the album, probably from the 1960s, looks like.


I have two albums, i.e., ‘Kodak‘ yellow, handed down from my adoptive parents (– yes, I was a genuine hospital MIX-UP). Since I was born in 1953, they contain pictures from 1953 to about 1956. I hadn’t looked at these two albums in years. I happen to, mainly by accident, come across them recently. Occured to me that I should try and preserve them — not for I but for posterity.

I looked at some options & quickly worked out that getting an Epson FastFoto 680W was going to be my best bet. Got one. VERY IMPRESSED so far. Does exactly as promised.

All the pictures shown have been AUTOMATICALLY enhanced by the Epson software as they are being scanned. The enhancements are REAL. After the first batch I just told the software NOT to even bother saving the original. Just give me the enhanced images.

This is the tip of the iceberg. I have hundreds and hundreds to scan. Many more albums though all the others are NOT as old.

Everyone eventually has a breaking point.

I am, as of June 1, 2024, BOYCOTTING Amazon
as much as possible.

For as long as I can remember, & definitely for the last 15 years, I did nearly all my shopping, online, on Amazon.

I never compared prices or thought of looking somewhere else.

I was loyal to Amazon & until THIS YEAR, by & large, Amazon had been VERY GOOD to I. I had no complains. I gushed about Amazon.

All that changed that year.

Amazon has started to SUCK … & suck real bad.

Their Customer Service has become HOSTILE.

I am done with them.

I needed one of these fast scanners. I was, as usual, going to get it from Amazon — prior to the June 1 boycott.

After that I HAD to look around.

eBay came up. It was supposed to be NEW & offered FREE SHIPPING.

I got it a few days ago & tried it yesterday. It was NEW and worked perfectly.

I saved $36.55. I can buy something else. I am excited.

SCREW AMAZON.
